1. Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarine

   A ballistic missile submarine is a submarine capable of deploying submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) with nuclear warheads. The United States Navy's hull classification symbols for ballistic missile submarines are SSB and SSBN – the SS denotes submarine, the B denotes ballistic missile, and the N denotes that the submarine is nuclear powered. These submarines became a major weapon system in the Cold War because of their nuclear deterrence capability. They can fire missiles thousands of kilometers from their targets, and acoustic quieting makes them difficult to detect (see acoustic signature), thus making them a survivable deterrent in the event of a first strike and a key element of the mutual assured destruction policy of nuclear deterrence. The deployment of SSBNs is dominated by the United States and Russia (following the collapse of the Soviet Union). Smaller numbers are in service with France, the United Kingdom, China and India; North Korea is also suspected to have an experimental SSBN.

1. fleet ballistic missile submarine

   A fleet ballistic missile submarine is a type of naval submarine capable of launching ballistic missiles (a missile with a trajectory and the ability to deliver warheads to a predetermined target). These submarines became a major element of the strategic defense tactics during the Cold War due to their stealth capability to stay underwater for long periods, making them difficult to detect, while carrying missiles that can be quickly launched. The primary mission of these submarines is nuclear deterrence.
